'Star Wars: The Old Republic' handed AbleGamers award

The BioWare multiplayer online game was named as the organization's 'Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year' for 2011.

AbleGamers praised the title for including color blind-friendly options, full subtitles and controls optimised for users with mobility impairments.

"BioWare did a wonderful job including a large number of options right at launch with the promise of including more as soon as possible," said AbleGamers Foundation president Mark Barlet. "It's very rare to see a game of this calibre initially released with so many accessibility options."
